policy off the table. it seemed like in the third debate that romney barely showed up because he had basically ceded all of foreign policy to the president. that's what the polls were showing. but also, it's something that you very rarely see in a debate, chris, which is a clean kill. you've got lloyd benson doing it to dan quayle. two or three other examples in the entire history of presidential debates. and this was the perfect one where romney was very well prepared on many other issues, was taken by his staff to a place that he shouldn't have been, where he is trying to score points on an issue where he shouldn't have been trying to score. >> i could just add to this. >> go ahead, what made that so effective is he wasn't even the one who delivered the sort of kill line. it was candy crowley, the moderator of the debate. because of what romney said is that obama did not use those words was so demonstratebly false that the moderator stepped in at the time and fact checked him and said you're wrong. that

it's not just about the foreign-policy debate which there are people who are trying to go towards the left militaristic vision of the cold war and towards the kind of center. it's also a real hard-line, right-wing outlet within the republican party that most clearly survived in robert taft's run for the presidency against eisenhower during the campaign. taft as we all know loses but he is an interesting conversation in which he says to eisenhower after congratulating him, that the theme that he once eisenhower to pursue is that liberty is being threatened by creeping socialism in every domestic field. that there is the kind of totalitarianism that is invading american politics and in fact eisenhower takes this language up much more than i think we really realize, this sort of hard right strip the new deal because the new deal is interchangeable with the version of socialism or totalitarianism. this becomes especially difficult, sort of hard-line language becomes especially difficult once nixon have to face up to the thing that gets him into trouble which is a problem we would put in t

in the end mitt romney didn't want to pick big fights with barack obama on foreign policy and i think there are lots of people who look at syria and say, "we really should do something about this," and then they say, "but what can we do that will actually improve the situation and not get us inveigled in place and in circumstances that we don't want to be inveigled in?" i do think it's very troubling looking forward that we may be losing the opportunity to have a two state solution between israel and the palestinians. i think time really is running out on that and i think there is a lot of frustration in the administration over what can they actually do? and whether or not we can argue about what they did in the past, you know, i think a lot of people would like to do something but don't see what the promising path is right now. >> and there are lot of troops in afghanistan who perhaps would like to come home and a lot of people here who would like them to come up, but that seems to be somethingfor the ye beyond, 2014. i'm wondering whether you think that's going to be advanced. >> i
